I have a baby chick that is 1 1/2 days old...it took this bird forever to hatch and when it hatched i realized its inside toe on each foot was crooked (pointing inward)...well i was told it was no biggie but know the little thing has one leg that it can barely move...it lays with it pointing out...
the inside toes on each foot of this baby chick has no joint or whatever in the center...the other toes are fine but its little inside toes are like jello...anyone know what the problem might be
